The National System of Protected Areas (Sinac), part of the Colombian Ministry of Environment and Energy, has warned residents that processed sargassum can be harmful to their health
.
Costa Rica's "Repubblica" reported on March 12 that sargassum is an important marine species that can provide shelter and food for marine life
.
In recent years, due to the accelerated melting of icebergs in the Antarctic and South Pole, the salinity concentration of seawater has decreased, and the growth and diffusion rate of Sargassum has been greatly accelerated
.
At the same time, the reclamation of forests in the Amazon region for agricultural land has increased the amount of fertilizers entering the ocean from the Amazon River, leading to the flood of sargassum in the Atlantic Ocean
.
Sargasso poses a serious threat to coastal ecosystems and affects human survival

Affected by strong winds in the North Atlantic, a large amount of sargassum has recently appeared on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica.
There have been comments on social networks encouraging the consumption of sargassum, and many residents will go to the beach to collect it with sacks
.
Given this situation, Sinac warns that sargassum contains heavy metals and that processing sargassum for consumption poses risks

Currently, Sinac is working with the University of Costa Rica (UCR) and the National University of Costa Rica (UNA) to analyze the sargassum bloom and assess its possible impact

Lilliana Piedra, a researcher at UNA's School of Biological Sciences, said that the sun-dried sargassum, which was 35 to 50 centimeters in height, was accumulating in parts of Costa Rica's coast.

"The acidic substances produced by the decomposition of sargassum can irritate the eyes and respiratory tract, and when the concentration reaches a certain level, it will cause harm to marine organisms and human health
